Butt in a Rut

I'm having one of those days.

It didn't start out that way. I got up early and started working on my menu for Thanksgiving. I am cooking for my husband's parents and his younger brother. I had a really good time working on that, and I hopped on here and read new posts from several of my favorite bloggers.

Somehow, it just went downhill. I started thinking about the job that I applied for a couple weeks ago, and I got down. Haven't heard anything back from the company yet. I felt pretty confident when I left training. I know that I was straight forward and honest about my reasons for wanting to work in the hospice field. My heart is in the job! I know from having done hiring, etc for my last job that sometimes it just takes awhile... but  don't you just hate waiting everyday for a phone call and not getting one?

I signed up with the job center in TN today, and I took a look at the jobs they are offering. I also went through the newspapers for the surrounding counties. None of the jobs are the type of work I'm searching for. I left my last job after close to two years. I loved coordinating the fundraisers for my store and working with the community to get books donated to children. I learned from working there that I really want to work with people to make sure that they are getting what they need to be happy and healthy.

I'm fortunate in that my husband has a very well paying job, and I'm not bragging. Our first few years together were tough. I was working in retail, and he was in nursing school. I'm lucky to be able to look for the job I want and not the one I need.

That said...If anyone in West Tn knows of a job in hospice, non-profits working with the community, or organizations working with the less fortunate...Holla.
